J. Crew Toothpick Jean in Garment-dyed Twill

Colored denim is a trend many of us are seeking out. An electric blue color has been my preferred choice, so I was thrilled to see this new item in J. Crew today! Some of you may have noticed the price above and find this to be a rare occasion...I paid close to full price for an item! So why did I get them? Well, if I walked away from them, they would constantly be on my mind, and, as Kelly says, they put a stupid grin on my face.

Wow, these 24 regulars fit amazing on you. I'm sure you will get so much wear out of them year-round living in Vegas. I wonder if they are meant to be ankle length jeans on "regular" height women above 5'4" ?

Hi Kim! I just put these on again to answer this question...I think they hug my body nicely without making me feel constricted. They are so much more comfortable than jeans! For reference, my mid-thigh measures about 16".

Wondered if you could give further update since there has been more time....did they end up stretching a ton? I am thinking of getting a pair but if they stretch out a full size and/or give me "saggy rear" I will probably cry at that price. I have a few pair of jeans that stretch out so much I rarely wear them (and I hate wasting $!) thanks!

Hey! The pants still fit well. I have washed them a few times, so I can say that with better judgement now! :) I can usually wear them three or four times (depending on how long I wore them and where) before washing them and never experience sagging in the hips or rear.

I even bought another pair in the papaya color. (new post link: http://thepetitefittingroom.blogspot.com/2012/04/j-crew-italian-leather-stud-belt.html) I will say, I have not tried on any other colored denim, though, so I do not have anything to compare them to other than regular jeans. I do find myself reaching for these on the weekends due to comfort and color. I will be really sad that I cannot wear these pants during the hot summer months in Vegas!
